Lighting Design Intern/Co-op Summer 2027 - Energy Solutions

About the role

CMTA Energy Solutions has a robust co-op program for college students pursuing a degree in engineering. We offer an immersive experience in the world of Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracting for one or more semesters. Our co-ops build competitive industry skills in a hands-on environment through collaborative project tasks with full-time engineers while under the direct supervision of Professional Engineers. Our program is designed to develop students into full-time caliber employees that contribute to the company's growth. The ideal candidate will possess excellent interpersonal skills and will be able to work well both as a team member and independently.

Our program stands apart from the typical, rehearsed co-op rotation in which every co-op gains the same experience because it is designed for co-ops to stand out and take on challenging projects. Co-ops will be involved with multiple Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracts and will have a role in every stage of their development. Each stage offers a variety of valuable experiences, from initial development through implementation. Whether co-ops are interested in building their skill set in identifying and calculating energy savings measures, developing renovation documents, or hands-on field experience, CMTA Energy Solutions is bound to overcome expectations.

Lighting Co-ops can expect to get hands on experience with commercial lighting systems. By the end of the program co-ops will have gained the experience to be able to deliver a full LED lighting upgrade design from scratch. Our Lighting co-op will directly support our lighting project managers.
